HP is widely known for its quality build laptops and their customer support, their laptops are known for quality, reliability, performance and design. Everyone would want to have an HP laptop if they are asked to replace their desktop PCs. Today we check out HP Pavilion DM4 laptop.dual-core PC performance in a super-thin design, Pavilion dm4-3090se Beats Edition in black brushed aluminum is nothing short of remarkable. Hear music as the artists intended, and see everything in crystal clarity on the bright HD plus display. Added bonuses: Beats wallpaper and a palm rest with soft-touch finish.Pavilion dm4-3090se, a multimedia notebook with a special focus on sound quality and with more Beats Audio logos around it than you can count. The slick black and red notebook is part of HP’s dm4tbe series, which so far consists of only 14-inch models but with wide pre-configurable options including specs up to a 2.8GHz Core i7-2640M, discrete Radeon HD 7470M graphics, 16GB RAM and HDD + mSATA hybrid storage.The unit under review is more middle-of-the-road with a Sandy Bridge Core i5 CPU and integrated Intel graphics, but includes a 20GB mSATA SDD for the above mentioned hybrid storage.14-inch notebook, the dm4 is quite thick from the back at 1.27 inches (32.258mm) but tapers down rather significantly to 0.96 inches (24.384mm) up front. The brushed aluminum lid is slightly angled on the back end as well, which when combined with the rotund design, actually leaves a noticeable and visible gap between the inner lid and the surface directly above the keyboard (see image below). Stability is decent for a lid that is largely plastic, but nothing impressive. For example, applying pressure on any point on the outer lid will unfortunately result in visible depressions even though the lid itself has average resistance to side-to-side twisting. As with most 14-inchers, opening the lid will require both hands from the user due to the more lightweight base. Once the keyboard and monitor are exposed, the user will quickly notice the rubberized velvety surface, a texture not unlike that found on the Envy 14 Beats Edition. We found the feel to be superior to that of common plastic or aluminum, both of which can experience wider and potentially uncomfortable temperature ranges compared to rubber. It’s worth mentioning, however, that hard-to-clean fingerprints can easily accumulate on the notebook.We were equally impressed by the stability of the base. Unlike the lid, the surface around the keyboard is solid and firm to both finger depressions and torsional twisting. The chrome-lined hinges work just as well on stiffly holding the lid in place. While we would have preferred an all-aluminum chassis a la the Envy series, the dm4 still surprises with both a tough base and prominent looks; we only wish that the lid could have been more rigid.Keyboard the keys didn't offer the same springy feedback as more premium notebooks like the HP Envy 15. In addition, substituting the "b" key with a Beats logo looks gimmicky. Typing was by no means a chore, but we've used better layouts.The 3.4 x 1.7-inch plastic Synaptics touchpad provided fluid, accurate feedback and felt good against our fingers. Multitouch gestures such as two-finger scroll, rotation, and three-finger flick were smooth and responsive. In addition, highlighting text on websites and in documents was spot-on. The most useful multitouch gesture was the four-finger flick, which called up all our open programs and documents in Windows Aero.14-inch 1600 x 900p display. Thanks to its matte anti-glare treatment, we were able to watch videos and read text without distracting reflections. At 177 lux, this isn't the brightest display we've seen, but it still higher than the 169 lux thin-and-light average. Text was sharp on CNN.com and Kotaku.com, thanks to the higher resolution, making for an easy read.When we watched J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" on Netflix, there were bright, billowing tangerine explosions, deep red proton beams, and a sapphire-blue sky.HP Pavilion dm4 has a decent port selection. Included is a 6-in-1 memory card reader (MS, MSP, MMC, SD, SDHC, xD), HDMI and VGA ports for hooking it up to an HDTV or external monitor, and two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports. Even though there are two USB 3.0 ports, there are still on three USB ports.So its looking good.
Let but some burden on it........
- Nice Design.
- Great Audio quality.
- Good Display Resolution.
- Good CPU Performance,
